A certified organic vineyard on the west side of Paso Robles, Luna Matta was planted to Rhone and Italian varieties. Steep hillsides, limestone soils, warm days, and cold nights perfectly match the vines planted in 2001. 

VINIFICATION

75% whole cluster fermented in small, open top bins, and spent 15-20 days on skins with pump-overs during cold soak and punch downs during fermentation. Aged 24 months in 500-liter, 265-liter and 228-liter barrels.

TASTING NOTES

Black currant reduction, cherry pipe tobacco, clove, teriyaki beef, grilled rosemary, and leather.
